Five Lessons the U.S. Can Learn from Europe About Stopping Child Marriages

While the issue of child marriages has come to prominence in Europe since the 2015 migrant crisis, it has recently made headlines in the U.S. after the Associated Press uncovered more than 8,000 cases of the American immigration system being used to attempt to facilitate marriages between adults and children.

The Associated Press published findings Friday that suggested both the U.S.’s immigration system and marriage laws are enabling child marriages and the resulting sexual abuse of migrant minors in the country.

According to ten years of data compiled by the Senate Homeland Security Committee in 2017 requested by the wire service, 5,556 adults petitioned for minor spouses, in one case a 49-year-old man sought to bring in a 15-year-old girl.

Chain Migration: UK Govt ‘Turns Blind Eye’ to Forced Marriage, Hands Visas to Foreign Rapists

Government officials are handing visas to the husbands of girls who have been forcibly married, raped, and impregnated abroad, allowing them to settle in Britain permanently.

The Home Office received 175 inquiries from abuse victims trying to block spouses’ visas last year, The Times revealed.

However, officials allowed in almost half of the abusers — from countries including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and the United Arab Emirates — regardless.

Girls Fearing Forced Marriage Told to Stick a Spoon in Underwear to Alert Airport Security

Girls in Sweden are being advised that if they fear being taken overseas to be subjected to a forced marriage or Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) that they should hide a spoon in their underwear.

“The spoon will trigger metal detectors when you go through security checks,” said Katarina Idegård who is the development manager for the unit charged with tackling honour-based violence in Sweden’s second biggest city Gothenburg.

“You will be taken aside and you can then talk to staff in private,” Ms. Idegård told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

Another Female Genital Mutilation Case Fails, Zero Convictions in 33 Years

The latest attempt to secure the UK’s first prosecution for female genital mutilation (FGM) has failed, with a West African father cleared of using the practice to “punish” his young daughter.

The prosecution was only the second brought under FGM legislation since it was introduced 33 years ago, in 1985. Not a single person has been found guilty of the crime in Britain, despite thousands of cases logged annually, and hundreds of successful prosecutions in France.

The man, 50, was alleged during a nine-day trial to have twice recruited someone to cut the girl with a razor blade at their home in south London between 2010 and 2013. The identity of the cutter had been forgotten, but the prosecution said the father had overseen and “egg[ed] on” the abuse.

UK Police Threaten Public over ‘Islamophobic’ Tweets on FGM Awareness Day… Despite ZERO FGM Convictions

A UK police force has used the “Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation Day” to issue threats against Twitter users for “Islamaphobic” [sic] abuse.

The news comes as Breitbart London can reveal the Surrey Police have conducted no arrests for the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) in the last 12 months, and no FGM-related arrests have led to convictions.

On Monday the police issued a tweet stating: “Tomorrow is International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM. FGM is hugely under-reported and children are often fearful to report a crime committed by their family or community. Find your voice, let girls be girls and help fight against FGM #EndFGM“.

On Tuesday they followed up with: “We’re saddened that a few people have taken this post as an opportunity to respond by posting Islamaphobic [sic] abuse. Please be aware that such responses are being reported to Twitter and will be passed onto our intelligence teams.”
